St Benedict Biscop

Here's a very good writeup on St Benedict Biscop, an Anglo-Saxon Benedictine who founded the abbeys of Wearmouth and Jarrow in 674 A. D.

The Via Vitae of St Benedict

Here's something in the "pious reflections" line I turned up at Google Books: The Via Vitae of St. Benedict: The Holy Rule Arranged for Mental Prayer, Bernard Hayes, 1908 Benziger Brothers

Opera omnia, St Bernard of Clairvaux

Not quite omnia - just volume two of his stuff in Migne's Patrologia Latina.

Update: I'd forgotten about Marco Binneti's collection of the works of St Bernard of Clairvaux. It seems to be copied from the Chadwyck Patrologia (correct me if I'm wrong).

St Bruno the Carthusian on the Psalms

Here begins his commentary on the Psalms. Wish I could read Latin...
